Hilary Swank’s latest movie, ‘The Resident’, goes straight to DVD

Hilary Swank has suffered another movie flop – her latest project The Resident is going straight to DVD.

The double Oscar-winner suffered a box office disaster with 2009’s Amelia, her movie about missing pilot Amelia Earhart, which grossed just over $19 million worldwide – less than half its $40 million production budget.

Conviction, about a woman’s fight to free her brother from prison, won Swank a nomination at the upcoming Screen Actors Guild awards, but was given a limited release in the U.S. in October and has only made just under $7 million.

And now movie bosses have decided her new thriller, “The Resident”, won’t be given a theatrical release in America. The film, which co-stars Christopher Lee and Jeffrey Dean Morgan, tells the story of a pretty young doctor who fears she is being stalked after moving into a new apartment. It will be given a home release in America, while there are still plans to open “The Resident” in cinemas in Britain, according to the Huffington Post.
